Just got the Delta's and they sound great! I'm using my lgv10.
I have the Audio Technica ath-ckr10 as well with the dual phase push pull tecnology. Thier the iems to beat in my humble opinion. I also compare every headphone to the audio technicas.
The Bass sounds good on the Delta's but not as good as the ckr10. Some reputable people say the bass is better than the se846. I'm not a basshead but i like nice clean bass.
After listening to the ckr10s, it's hard to listen to something else because i find headphones usually lack something the Audio-Technicas provide.
The ckr10s are louder and fuller, but the trick, I believe is the push pull tech. Something about the ckr10s respond freakishly well to amplification like no other. It really shines with amplification. It doesnt get distorted no matter how loud you turn it up. Youll go def before you hear distortion.
The bass is very tight and clean all the time!
I'm not saying the ckr10 is better than the deltas, but the bass on the ckr10 is; so far anyway. I don't believe that's going to change with time.
The ckr10 has detail that's so good it's irritating. I can hear the artist in the studio talking and repeating verses like never before. I couldn't hear this level of detail with the $800 sennheiser ie800. What's even more frustrating is the fact that you start to crave the detail if you listen to other headphones. It's sort of like a love hate relationship, you can't live with it and can't live without it.
On the other hand, the Deltas have some really good detail and sounds nice and crisp as well. I can't really tell you which one is better yet. That's a very good sign for a new pair of headphones.
Sound isolation is probably the best I've heard so far on the ckr10. The volume on my "souped up" lgv10 goes up to 75. I cant get the dial pass 25 with amplification. I live in Chicago and downtown on the main street I hear nothing. I'm taking the delta for a walk now to see how it compares.
I say this to say I'm looking forward to the Sabre as its supposed to use the same push pull tech. I'm hoping that it will beat or at least match the ckr10 on nice clean and deep bass.
